The association of international journalists based in Los Angeles, which presents the Golden Globe Awards every January, has now given grants of $7.7m in the last 13 years.
Chief recipients this year were Martin Scorsese’s The Film Foundation, which received $0.35m for restoration of specific films, and The Sundance Institute, which received $0.1m for support of international film-makers’ participation in the screenwriting and director’s labs.
Other grants went to recipients in various categories - higher education, pre-professional training and education, professional training and mentoring and promotional cultural exchange through film.
The HFPA this week announced a $10,000 donation from the president’s discretionary fund to the Ingmar Bergman Archive to convert the late film-maker’s journals and archival documents into digital format.
